January Hearth Warmers- Week of 1/27/08

[michelle16]

My RE like to wait 12 past ET, isn't that ridiculous!! I just might call my gyno because he is sooo great he will just send me to his lab and send a hcg order in if i call next Monday. I am convinced I am going to the store to buy one now, my DH will kill me, but next week he will be out of town in Miami all week!!!! I would like to get a + before he leaves.

Hypathetically, if I were to get a +, would it be too soon????

Heather - have u started testing???

doi - Sandy I meant to cool calculator, but after I read video it was stuck in my head - can I blame that on pregnancy?

Michelle-

Could be worse, my beta is 14 days past ET. I think they just try to avoid beta limbo...by that point, either your pg, or the chemical should be declining so its pretty definite I think. Oh well.

BC-dmbucky - I am on Lovenox this cycle too. The injection itself is painless, but does leave pretty bad bruises- mine are the size ofhalf dollars from each injection!! So, eventually, your entire injection area is just one big bruise!! I started it the day following my ET. Good luck with it!

Michelle- I have done tests to get a neg- to be sure trigger was gone- and it is- so i will start again on the weekend with the hpt ocd!! My RE only waits 9dp5dt for beta!! 12 is usually for a 3dt!! WOW!! I could never be patient that long!! And those weird craving could be a sign- before my beta last cycle (BFP) i was eating pickles dipped in chunky blue cheese even before beta!! SO good luck!! I think you should test- the suspense is killing me!!! WE NEED MORE BFP's!!!!!

dmb - i felt like the day i think the trigger finally left my body, physically i felt unwell and emotionally i was an absolute wreck!!

2ww ladies - boredom and anxiety is horrible. technically i was not even supposed to do my beta until tom. OMG. thre is no way i would have made it until then without HPT. i am 14dp3dt and my test this am is still showing a positive which i'm hoping is a good sign since i still haven't heard if my numbers have gone up since my bleeding.

symptoms i noticed
6 and 7dp - cramping and pinching in centre of lower abdomen but also some on left side

11dp - gagging - smelt the garbage and was dry heaving over toilet, have the same feeling after eating even now. breasts weren't as tender anymore. some pain and pinching in different areas of lower abdomen (told this is probably the unterus getting positioned or embies digging deeper. bloating off and on. and gas, my dh is not happy with that

13dp - breasts are tender again. not interested in eating at all.

Sandy - dollorama in canada has cheapo tests too. i dind't get one jsut in case but one of the other sites says that they are just as accurate. i still can't fit into my regular clothes and when i weighed on home scale a few days ago i had only gained 3 lbs during this process.

rourek - you still to your guns and do what you feel comfortable with, you know yourself better than anyone.

michelle - mine waits until 14-16days past to test.

ladybug - dont give up, probably was trigger leaving, now you'll start to get an accurate result in a day or two.

well off to keep waiting for my 2nd beta result and hope i still have a viable pregnancy.

sticky vibes to all!!!!

Welllllllllll I did it.....I gave in drove like a maniac to the store and about 2 min ago POAS!!!!! I bought a First response and........it came back +! Two line showed up, the second line very light, but there.....could it be so?????

Hello,

Wow! So many posts since my sister called (home with the flu).

Michelle, I say go for it! Buy a test but remember you have to wait until the morning. You'll be 6dpt5dt.

Dmbucky, What is Factor V? I did not follow the strict bedrest this time. After my ET- me and Dh went for breakfast- then I cam e home & napped. After that I sat up and relaxed. I also feel crappy with the lack of exercise and movement- I;ve been a real couch potatoe & computer addict.

kelly- no headaches here. Well you're strong, most people can't hold off for like 14- 16 days. Will you get your beta results on the same day or next day?


Pw- I wish pg was my excuse but honestly, I've been chubby for a long time now & kept saying I'd do something about it but haven't. It seems like I can't balance things out- I can't lose wait and do all this IVF- fertility stuff at the same time.

Pinder- I'm going to call the Dollaramas in my area to check- thanks!

O.k SO WHO IS TESTING GOING NEXT?

[heathermat]

MICHELLE!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO FANTASTIC!!! how fast did it show up? If it was immediate- IT"S probably a true BFP!!! Your trigger was when 12 days ago right?

[Sandy72]

WAAAHHOOOOOOOO! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I THINK IT IS DEFINATELY SO! (sorry just just missed your post- I send mine without reading yours first.) So much for morning pee- that must mean it's a definitive positve!

[michelle16]

It showed up immediately, it is alot lighter but I read the directions 10x's and it said the second line can show up lighter and still be positive!!!!!! my trigger was 12 days ago, can this still be from trigger???
